“That’s our winter in Florida”: Americans Troll Prince William as Soldier in Military Parade Faints Following Temperature Hitting 86 Degrees
Several British soldiers were affected by the heat on Saturday while participating in a military parade to honor Prince William. The incident later turned out to be a hilarious one for the online American audience as people used social media to comment on it.
In London, it was 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) when the annual rehearsal parade for the monarch’s birthday was held. The parade known as Colonel’s review is conducted to decide that they are ready for Her Majesty.
Fans react to British soldiers fainting during the parade
Several Twitter users took to their social media to share their reactions to the news of several British soldiers fainting during the military parade rehearsals which were conducted to salute Prince William. One of them wrote, “I looked up 30 Celsius to Fahrenheit and it’s only 86. That’s our winter in Florida.” Another user defended the British temperature by stating, “We have higher humidity in the UK though, so it feels higher than that.”
Shocking to see a guard collapsed on the ground while all the other guards including their supervisor(s) carry on business as normal.

Another user commented, “Haha that’s just our winter in Florida!!!” They’re acclimated to temperatures lower than this, they are in heavy uniforms and have to do a strenuous routine without any stops for water or anything. Pointing and laughing at the dude that fainted on camera isn’t cool.”
Ha ha, what kind of insensitive response is that. The poor guy got up and started playing again. It's not a competition. Maybe you should try doing it and see how long you last 😡

No one said it was. It’s the fact that he’s just left there, unchecked because “tradition”.
Did you see the second guy carried out in the back?
It’s 2023, ffs.— M͓̽E͓̽T͓̽A͓̽ ПIПJΛ ᕦ⊙෴⊙ᕤ (@MyWhiteNinja_) June 11, 2023
A user went on to explain that AC does not exist in the UK, whatever the temp is outside, it is the same inside and if it gets too hot, there is no way to cool off.
1,400 soldiers and King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery reviewed by Prince William
According to the reports, Prince William, who is the heir to the throne, reviewed the military parade known as the Colonel’s Review, which consists of more than 1,400 soldiers of the Household Division and the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery.
The occasion served as a run-through for Trooping the Colour, an annual military procession held in June to commemorate the monarch’s birthday. On June 17, King Charles III will preside over the ceremony. According to the reports, the soldiers were bundled up against the nearly 30-degree London weather in bearskin hats and woolen tunics.
They also mentioned that the military trombonist who passed out tried to get back up and play again. Soon after, medical personnel arrived to assist him, and he was led outside to rest and receive care.
Prince William later tweeted, “A big thank you to every soldier who took part in the Colonel’s Review this morning in the heat. Difficult conditions but you all did a really good job.” He also shared pictures from the parade and appreciated the hard work that went behind preparing for an event like such, especially during such weather conditions.
